Synopsis

Key Message: The second book of a three-part series, An Introduction to Algebraic, Graphical, and Numerical Problem Solving, Third Edition, illustrates how mathematics arises naturally from everyday situations through updated and revised real-life activities and the accompanying practice exercises. Along with the activities and the exercises within the text, MathXL(R) and MyMathLab(TM) have been enhanced to create a better overall learning experience for the reader. Technology integrated throughout the text helps readers interpret real-life data algebraically, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The active style of this book develops readers' mathematical literacy and builds a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines.
